Devotional: Eternal God! O thou that only art...

Eternal God! O thou that only art

The sacred fountain of eternal light,

And blessed loadstone of my better part,

O thou, my heart’s desire, my soul’s delight!

Reflect upon my soul, and touch my heart,

And then my heart shall prize no good above thee;

And then my soul shall know thee; knowing, love thee;

And then my trembling thoughts shall never start

From thy commands, or swerve the least degree,

Or once presume to move, but as they move in thee.
